this gave me a, no joke, 60 second coughing fit and im still recovering
ok i don't think i've mentioned this, but i live near billy joel, and so i have some funny stories involving him lol
- once, my (very christian, very british) grandparents were visiting my parents, and we took them to billy joel's garage (basically a big car/motorcycle showhouse). they meet another old man, and talk to him for a bit. that man was billy joel. my grandparents, being british, have no clue who he is. when my parents try to explain who he was to them, they mention the song 'only the good die young'. my grandfather calls that sinner music. they never did figure out who he was
- shorter but when my little brother's friend was around eight, he met billy joel in a supermarket. when asked if he was billy joel, billy joel replied "sometimes"
- sometimes we see billy joel's helicopter above us when walking around town. everyone always tries to wave to it
that's all i can think of now but i'll add to this if i think of any others
watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like
- put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work
- open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk
- put in the movie
- gdi it has to be rewound
- press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way
- start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning
- FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie
- and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV
COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD
- QUICK LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME OH FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Okay crisis averted.
- although. these ads are kind of quiet. a little hard to hear.....
- better turn up the volume...

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right
"well i like this post but i'm worried my followers might not" fuck your followers. The entire point of tumblr is to cause irreparable psychic damage to your followers. We are locked in mortal combat on the astral plane. You must win. You Must Win. You Must Destroy Them.
a) my dad used to do this kind of shit to me b) need to start doing this to absolutely everyone in my life
Ohhhhhj so the childhood self doesn't disappear forever they come back as a ghost when you are struggling to break into adulthood and sit with you during your lunch break so you're not alone. Alright
I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.
Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.
just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

Put salt in your baked goods. Put salt in your desserts. Just do it. Please. Salt isn't just for savory, it's literally a flavor enhancer so even a pinch can take a meh recipe to one people can't stop eating. Listen to me. Your cookies and cheesecake bars are bland and uninteresting. I'm taking your hand. I'm guiding you with a gentle touch to the back. We can do this together. Trust me.
another underappreciated tumblr feature that you dont get on other sites is the queue. i love it when something i thought was funny six months ago and then forgot about a week later crawlts its way out of the processing vortex and i get to see it all over again.
you should queue this post it would be funny and grant me immortality
you motherfuckers put me in the processing vortex
